There is currently a 2 pronoun limit. I have talked with a some people over the months who have wished to have more than that.

As far as I am concerned, simply removing the line and going back to just an 80 char limit (which depending on the length of the pronoun sets limits you to a max of about 10/11) is good (and I would happily work on the ui to add more dropdowns if needed). But if that doesn't work lets figure out what else we can do.

• Re-implement account age indicator

• added Hostname above posts

Wasn't sure who to ping, figured I'd create a thread.

Maybe like 50% of the time when I go to post a comment it hangs, and then when I finally refresh the page I get a "TypeError". Happens on desktop and mobile, just started within the last week I'd say? Happening to anyone else?

honestly just a general meme dump thread for my mental helf would be fun

Our lives changed suddenly and everything was lost. We are trying to get back on our feet, and every support from you adds hope and eases our burden. Every little help makes a difference and reminds us that we are not alone during this difficult time

I DID THE UPDATE to the applications.

They're LIVE LIVE LIVE

you can view them when you go to make a new account

please don't use this as an opportunity to make new accounts.

or do, whatevs.

but ANSWER THE DAMN PROMPS OR I'LL DENY YOUR FUNNY COOL USERNAMES

edit: I'll leave this up for the rest of the day to let everyone know its done. I'll probably leave this unlocked so if anyone else wants to drop by and improve a translation or add a new one they can pop by and drop it in instead of making a whole new post or DMing me. not that's gonna stop anyone from doing exactly that lmao either one's fine.

Hi I'm new to this forum. How do I set up my feed so if I view a post it auto-hides? This way when I'm scrolling through my feed I don't scroll through the same things every time

Basically I can’t see what I’m typing because the text input field goes completely black. It’s definitely an iOS problem on this site at least. Does anyone else have this problem? I don’t know if this is a specific setting or what

EDIT: This is available in settings already!!!

Small QoL improvement and hopefully trivial to implement, personally I'd greatly prefer this, I often want to go back to a thread after reading an article and having them side by side makes it easier.

Idk if this is a hexbear or lemmy thing or what. Or if we have anti-new-tab partisans in our midst

I support our brave devs

i can find them when using a client like Boost for Lemmy, but i can't find them when I'm on hexbear.

My name is Soliman, a young student from Gaza.

For months, my family and I have been displaced, living without a safe home, without stability, and with the constant fear of tomorrow.

We once had a small farm with olive and citrus trees. It wasn’t just our source of income — it was a place full of dreams and memories. Today, it is gone, and survival has become our only daily goal.

As the eldest son, I carry the responsibility of helping my parents and younger siblings. We are in urgent need of food, clean water, clothing, and a safe shelter, especially with winter approaching.

Every small donation will directly help us cover our basic needs and bring us closer to living with dignity again. Your kindness means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Soliman

• In a post if I try to use "Image" and upload - the spinner never stops spinning. That's the case for this post itself too.

• If I put a Imgur link into Thumbnail URL - the image doesn't appear. An example vvv

Edit 2

Everything seems okay now. That was fast.

A comrade recently raised the issue that Kamakawiwoole's emote is being grossly misused to represent the Israeli occupation, as for an alternative name, I would like to ask for ideas from people with more knowledge of the indigenous Hawaiian independence movement, or preferably that are part of that movement.

The simplest would just be to add "see bio" to the pronoun drop-down, but more ideally this would be something you could check to add to the end of your pronouns, e.g. Erika3sis [she/her, xe/xem (see bio)]

I'm trans and living on TERF Island, disabled, no familial support due to right wing family who threatened to kill me if I ever came home again. I finally found a place to live in another town after nine months of homelessness, after saving for a deposit and receiving no help (and a lot of transphobia) from state homelessness services. I get some disability income but it doesn't even cover my rent, and I work on a zero hours contract as a venue sound technician in the city that I left because I couldn't afford to rent there. I can't find any other work, I have diagnoses of autoimmune disease / CPTSD / autism and most employers here are transphobic / ableist. I'm lucky to get and hold down the little work that I have.

I'm living in a studio basement, and having problems with black mold. I've cleaned everything with vinegar, but the landlord told me to run the heating (can't afford it) and get a dehumidifier (can't afford it). I slept on the fucking floor for four months cause I couldn't afford a mattress.

Does anyone have any advice for improving circumstances living in a place like this? I really don't want to lose this place and end up homeless again. It's better than sleeping outside but fucking hell.

EDIT: I'm not sure if I posted this to the wrong community, new here and have a hard time even talking to anyone online due to CPTSD. Sorry if I did.

My name is Soliman, a university student from Gaza. I had big dreams and worked hard to achieve them, but the war stopped everything. I couldn’t continue my studies… I don’t have a laptop, reliable internet, or even books to learn from.

https://gofund.me/da782c66

Today, I live in hope that the border will open so I can continue my education abroad, because my family’s hope rests entirely on me. We have lost everything—our home, our work, our land, and even our sense of safety. We are back to zero, and our lives have become a living hell.

https://gofund.me/da782c66

I need your support to cover my travel expenses if I get the opportunity, and also to help provide for my family’s basic needs. I appeal to your hearts before your hands… please, do not leave us alone. ❤️🙏

In the heart of Gaza, where war and destruction leave no place for peace, the stray cats suffer from hunger and cold just like many humans. But behind this harsh reality lies a deeper human story.

Soliman, a young Palestinian from Gaza, carries the heavy responsibility of supporting his large family despite his young age. After their farm which was their source of income and beautiful memories was destroyed and burned in an Israeli attack, they were left homeless and without any income. Despite these hardships, Soliman continues his education and struggles daily to provide the simplest needs for his family.

Just like Gaza’s cats suffer a similar fate, searching for traces of life amid the rubble, Soliman seeks a glimmer of hope amid the destruction.

If you wish to support Soliman and his family to rebuild their lives, you can help through this link: https://gofund.me/da782c66

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference in the life of this family and the silently suffering cats of Gaza.

Hello friends,

I am writing from Gaza, far away from your lands, but close in spirit. Our histories are different, but I know your people have also endured loss, displacement, and the fight to preserve your culture and dignity.

Before the war, I was a student with dreams to finish my studies, help my family, and live in peace. Today, my home is gone, and my life is full of uncertainty.

I am sharing my story not just to ask for help, but to reach out in solidarity. I believe that people who understand struggle are the ones who can truly feel another’s pain.

If you can, please read my full story here: https://gofund.me/da782c66 Your kindness and support would mean the world to me.

In solidarity, Soliman

My name is Soliman — a young man and student from Gaza, carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life, I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times.

We once had a small farm — olive and citrus trees, and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops, but dreams. That farm was our only source of income, and more than that, it was a place full of memories, of hope, and of the laughter that once made life a little easier.

But in a single moment, everything was gone. A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes. We lost our source of living, our stability — and with it, a part of our souls.

Now, despite the pain, I’m trying to start over. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing, to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength, dignity, and sense of humanity.

I share these words with honesty and hope, hoping they reach a kind heart — someone who can help, or even simply share my story with others who might be able to.

If you’re able to support us in any way, here is the link to our GoFundMe campaign: 👉 https://gofund.me/da782c66 Every share, every kind word, every small donation could be a lifeline for us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

(obviously it's ok that this user got banned, it's just the switch2boycott/andjusticeforall/basedball or whatever person who has said transphobic things in the past, that's not my point)

In the post in question, there was never any indication that the girlfriend character was not a girl, and I hope that the Hexbear mod team can at least recognize that it's possible for a person to both be a girl and nonbinary at the same time.

I feel like comments have dropped a lot in this last few days. I see some, though, so they're not all getting eaten, but it seems eerily quiet.
